…but then I thought ok, this is dumb. I know there’s RSS, so why not just use
a standard format that could pull from other sources as well?

curl https://feeds.pinboard.in/rss/u:brennen/

Further thoughts: Instead of doing this dynamically on the server, I could
just periodically pull data into the p1k3 archives and render it using some
service. I’m getting ever-more leery of running any dynamic code where I don’t
have to, and even considering rewriting all of the p1k3 stuff to generate
static files instead of building pages on the fly, so maybe this would be a
good experiment.

variations on a theme

it is the springtime of the year
my head's been pounding all god damn day
like i drank a bunch of everclear and ran
from the cops, or some equally stupid shit
like it was 2003 all over again
but all we really did was stay up late
and watch star trek

halfway through the day i gave up and crawled
through the spinning room and my fuzzed-out
vision into bed

and woke up long after dark
fumbled my way to look out the front door
my landlord was out on his step
in the glare of the porchlights
so i walked out and now we stand smoking
in jackets too thin for the weather
while the rain turns into snow
and the snow turns back into rain

pacing a circle outside my door for the dozenth time today
the sky mottled in cool blues and grays, greening things
obvious in a wind colder than you expect

this is that season when jackets are always a little too thin,
the winter's still-piled quilts at night a little too warm
the excited clarity of one moment always fading and glitching
into the scattered uncertainty of the next

In due course, I started getting warnings about calling param() in list context.
They looked sort of like this:

brennen@exuberance 18:46:13 /home/brennen/www (master) ★ perl display.fcgi 2>&1 | head -1
CGI::param called in list context from package main line 38, this can lead to vulnerabilities. See the warning in "Fetching the value or values of a single named parameter" at /usr/local/share/perl/5.20.1/CGI.pm line 408.

Problematic, since a variable containing that list is exactly what I want. On
googling, I found that in addition to the warning, CGI.pm had been amended to
include multi_param() for the cases where you explicitly want a list.
Ok, cool, I’ll use that.

Fast forward to just now. display.fcgi is blowing up on my local machine. Why?
